Mail armor

Mail armor (Some times called Chain Mail) is a type of armor that consists of small metal rings fashioned together to form a mesh, which is then fashioned into coverings for the various parts of the body.

A mail piece designed to cover the chest is traditionally called a hauberk, haubergeon or byrnie depending on its length. Leggings may be referred to as chausses, Hoods are coifs, and hand items mittons.
